Record of Agarest War to Release Simultaneously on PS3 and 360

MASSIVE WARS, BOUNTIFUL WOMEN, AND A CORNUCOPIA OF
DEBAUCHERY, NOW ON TWO CONSOLES!

Record of Agarest War receives a simultaneous release on
the PlayStation®3 and Xbox 360, Spring 2010!

Aksys Games, a publisher of interactive entertainment products, announces its
first epic SRPG, with Record of Agarest War for the Xbox 360 to coincide with
the previously announced PlayStation Network version. In this game developed by
Compiled Heart, RED Entertainment, and Idea Factory, SRPG fanatics will finally
be able to play a game worthy of the genre. Sporting over one hundred hours of
gameplay, Record of Agarest War invites players into a gorgeous, expansive world
of hope and despair. Players will wage war against the evil forces of darkness,
take a bride—actually, several brides— and extend their lineage across five
generations!

“In truth, we had Record of Agarest War ready to go up on the
PlayStation Network months ago,” [Ed.’s note: That’s a lie.] says Ben Bateman,
Editor, Aksys Games, “But when a haggard man emerged from a ball of crackling
energy that materialized outside our office with dire warnings from a dark
future, we decided to reconsider. As it turns out, a PlayStation
Network-exclusive release of Agarest was—or rather, would have been—the catalyst
for World War III. The gaming community was torn apart—literally—by this
apparent favoritism, and from that schism poured the infinite minions of Satan
himself, the Lord of Lies. The man told us, his eyes blank with the 1000-yard
stare, of the horrors of this future war. He had been sent back in time, the
last hope of a desperate human resistance, to prevent what the people of this
desolate future Earth called, simply, ‘The Breaking.’ As the last spark of life
passed from his body, broken and battered by his journey through the time
vortex, we swore to honor his final wish.”

“This is why Record of Agarest War has been delayed,” Ben
continues, his eyes wet with tears, “So that we may release it on both consoles,
and in doing so, save the world.”

Record of Agarest War Prologue
War darkened the skies of Agarest. Not a simple war between mortals, easily
ended by divine intervention, but a war that split the gods themselves. Armies
such as the world had never seen before, and would never see again, clashed in
the skies of Agarest, across its surface, and even in the caverns that wound
their way through its interior.

As is the way in war, many died on both sides, gods and
mortals alike, and the war left Agarest broken, blackened, and dead. The gods
wept for their paradise, and in a final act of creation, sacrificed themselves
to bring life back to its charred and twisted surface.

Although the gods are long dead, the withering darkness that
began and fueled their war is not. Imprisoned for millennia, its bonds have
begun to weaken, and as they do, a shadow once again spreads across the surface
of the world.

Born into this world perched unknowingly on the brink of the
apocalypse, a young man by the name of Leonhardt and his descendants are the
last, best hope for Agarest. Their journey will span generations and continents
as they strive to once again bring peace to their beleaguered world, even as the
cost of their own souls.
